AKVIS Sketch is a plugin for conversion of photos into pencil sketches and watercolor drawings. Surprise your friends with realistic color and B&W drawings that imitate the technique of graphite and color pencil, charcoal and watercolor. You can process the image with the default settings and then touch up the drawing adding color or trying different techniques. It's a wonderful tool for those who have always wanted to draw but didn't know how.

Changes in version 7.0:
Added the Background tab with special effects that make the final photo more impressive. Added tools which help to define the effect areas (Keep/Drop pencils).
